21 months young, our baby Boston

Dear Boston,

This past month has been a whirlwind. It is official. You are no longer a baby. You are incredibly tall and you are steadily becoming set in your own ways. It's so much fun to watch it all happen, but Momma and Dada are both a little sad to see you grow up so fast. If we were forced to put a theme on your progress over this past month it would be "emulation," because that is what you do the most - you emulate EVERYTHING we do, especially Dada. This is cute, but also a little scary. It means we are really going to have to watch our behavior and language around you... this is not so much of a bad thing. It is one more way in which you have inspired us to be better people. Thank you for that.

In case you have not noticed, our love for you remains infinite and we are constantly hopeful that we are doing right by you and helping you become a good person while making your life fun and happy. For us, having you around is an absolute blast. Our lives would never be the same without you.

As we said, this month has flown by and has been full of your copying our language and actions. Here's what you accomplished:

* you taught yourself how to blow on hot foods

* you started stacking things, like your horsey onto cars or onto the couch/ottoman

* you love to swing your bat and hit the ball dada bought you

* you love making "vroom" noises with playing with your cars or airplane

* you love getting napkins and cleaning your hands, mouth and table

* you love to do what we do, vacuum, mow, wiping things (like the table where you eat)
